The program is designed to provide customers with email notification of changes to their service providerâs NAID certification status. The service is free, anonymous and automated, requiring the user to enter the email to which they would like the notification sent. Up to three service providers can be monitored at a time, although NAID can assist those who are responsible for monitoring more service providers.

âWe were getting lots of requests from clients who require service providers to be NAID certified to inform them of renewals,â said NAID Director of Certification Operations Katie Mahoney. âThe certification notification allows anyone to do their monitoring easily and seamlessly.â

NAID will continue promoting this tool to customers as well as on the new data protection services directory to be launched in the final quarter of this year.
